Questions (fixed!)

Jun 2, 2024 12:29 pm
This game as a number of questions for character creation and at the start of each duty station.
The idea is that everyone contributes to create/draw the stations and some interesting plot hooks before we start, but on PbP that will be hard.

As an alternative, my idea is to have the questions available here as polls here. These are a mix of background and potential move consequences. Some of them don't make much sense to answer yet as you haven't seen some of the places. You don't have to answer them now, but I'm putting them here so you can keep an eye out for any suitable moment during the game where they may drive the story.

If you pick question you'd like to answer at some point, vote it so others know it's taken.

Answering a question will earn you a luck point to avoid a negative consequence later on.

Whose funeral did you miss by volunteering for flight training?
Dasha: She knew coming here would mean that she would never be able to have a funeral for her husband, but it also meant that she would have a safe place for her son and be able to work a job that could support him.

In one of her nicer dresses, and with proper make-up, she had swiveled in the direction of the wolf-whistles with a curtsy and a winking smile, before turning away girlishly to trot off without looking back.

Larisa just introduced herself to Lieutenant Litvyak of the 586th Fighter Regiment. How do you feel about her?

Dasha:Who do you know in the 4th Air Army Logistics and Supply Commissariat, and what favor do you owe them?

NOTE: I corrected the options the votes are gone 😅 BedzoneII and OrangeTree picked the last option of knowing someone in the occupied region. Since Larisa already knows someone from 586, I'll leave it for OrangeTree at the moment
